LA CUCARACHA

Cuando uno quiere a una,
y esta una no lo quiere,
es lo mismo que si un calvo,
en calle encuentra un peine.


Coro:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar,
porque no tiene, porque le falta,
marihuana que fumar.


Las muchachas mexicanas,
son lindas como una flor,
y hablan tan dulcemente,
que encantan de amor.


Coro:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar,
porque no tiene, porque le falta,
marihuana que fumar.


Las muchachas de Las Vegas,
son muy altas y delgaditas,
pero son más pedigüeñas,
que las ánimas benditas.


Coro:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar,
porque no tiene, porque le falta,
marihuana que fumar.

English translation:

THE COCROACH

When a fellow loves a maiden,
and that maiden doesn't love him,
it's the same as when a bald man,
finds a comb upon the highway.


Chorus:
The cucaracha, the cucaracha,
doesn't want to travel on,
because she hasn't,
oh no, she hasn't,
marihuana to smoke.


All the girls from Mexico,
are as pretty as a flower,
and they talk so very sweetly,
fill your heart up with love.


Chorus:
The cucaracha, the cucaracha,
doesn't want to travel on,
because she hasn't,
oh no, she hasn't,
marihuana to smoke.


All the girls at Las Vegas,
are very tall and skinny,
but they're worse for pleading,
than the souls in Purgatory.


Chorus:
The cucaracha, the cucaracha,
doesn't want to travel on,
because she hasn't,
oh no, she hasn't,
marihuana to smoke.
